• •Authenticity
• •Self-Protection
• •Emotional Honesty
• •Individualism
• •Resilience

Best Practices

• •Lead with the Ethos, Follow with the Product: Always start with the "why." Frame every piece of copy around the core values of authenticity, self-protection, and resilience. The product is the physical manifestation of that message.
• •Use "You/Your" Pronouns: Speak directly to the individual. The brand's voice is that of an inner monologue or a trusted friend. Make the customer the hero of their own story, with the brand as their armor.
• •Maintain a Confident, Declarative Tone: Use strong, active verbs and avoid passive language. Sentences should be statements, not suggestions (e.g., "Protect your peace," not "We hope you can protect your peace").
• •Embrace Duality: The brand's power lies in its contrast —dark aesthetics with an empowering message. The copy should reflect this. Pair imagery of skulls and shadows with words of light, strength, and self-worth.
• •Turn Statements into Questions for Engagement: On social media, convert the brand's core statements into questions to foster community interaction. For example, instead of just saying "Real recognizes real," ask "Who keeps it real in your circle? Tag them below." This invites the audience to participate in the brand's value system.
